Report
Background
The All-Star Race is open to race winners from last season through the 2020 Quaker State 400 at Kentucky Speedway and all previous All-Star race winners and NASCAR Cup champions who had attempted to qualify for every race in 2020 are eligible to compete in the All-Star Race.
The race was moved to Bristol Motor Speedway over the ongoing coronavirus pandemic; Sullivan County officials will allow the track to be effectively at 20% capacity (30,000 seats). Current All-Star Race ticketholders and Food City 500 ticketholders denied entry because of the event being behind closed doors will have first rights to tickets.
